I've just used truck bed liner. It comes out really nice, durable and seals up any air leaks. If it's going to be in the trunk, the wife and kids will throw things at it. I've gotten subs punctured because they don't care. I also have to make it easily moveable if I have to make more room.

I'm not a huge fan of the paint, but this enclosure is sweet! That custom emblem you made is a nice touch. Earlier in the build i thought it would be a bit too much, but it is definitely not. Besides, it is YOUR build, not mine! 😊

@chrishuyler3580 Жыл бұрын
The paint is a huge time saver, i've used both black and white versions with great success, but it is certainly not a replacement for quality vinyl work. I think it will hold up better over an extended period of time in a moist environment though.
@Toyotajunkie Жыл бұрын
@Chris Huyler I 100% understand the pros to using it. It would probably outlast a carpet application if used in a vehicle that sees lots of "traffic" around the enclosure. And that's a great point on moisture. Especially beneficial in a "jeep" type application. My dislike stems from the look mainly. Like I said, I'm definitely not knocking people for doing it... but I probably will not use it again, unless there is a perfect scenario.
@chrishuyler3580 Жыл бұрын
@@Toyotajunkie I have a single can that has been used for a few different projects. I like it for recessed amp racks. I can make them out of cheap materials and slather this stuff on for a professional look. Then I save the carpet or vinyl work for the trim pieces. The best part is you don't waste material like you do with carpet.

@@Toyotajunkie If you don't like the textured look you can use a foam roller instead and there will be no texture to it but it will still have the hardened properties of the coating.

Fantastic looking box. imo, W7s are just not efficient subs in the first place. Pick up a B&C 18" and you'll be able to load it in the same size box with a flat response and you'll have 9dB more output with the same power.

I never had a good sander back in the day and cuts probably weren’t the best so I would use bondo to try and hide the seams on the wood. My dad was confused as to why I would put so much on and sand it all off. Stupid 20 year old me. Would just spray bed liner on it and call it good. Made one box to hold two 10W3’s in with a PPI 4125 recessed into it behind the seat of my 1997 F150 regular cab. After a couple years of flexing the seams showed back up. Oh well.
